Carney’s first year as PM underscores contrast with Trudeau
Canadians started the year with Justin Trudeau as prime minister, a man who wore his emotions on his sleeve — who teared up when he announced his resignation in early January, triggering a tumultuous year in politics.

According to PHAC wastewater data, in Ontario, both Covid and flu-A are high, and RSV is moderate.

Companies such as Udio, Suno and Klay will let you use AI to make new music based on existing artists’ work. It could mean more royalties – but many are worried

Chemophobia is such a problem and it keeps getting worse. Most of the time it’s also this obviously unjustified and incorrect. We really need to teach the basic sciences in this country.

If "coronavirus significantly alters the brain long after recovery," THEN WE ARE NOT RECOVERED!!!
The magical thinking of "well, I can't see it, so it's not there" has turned most of us into absolute morons. Can you see cancer? If so, why do we need mammograms and colonoscopies?

And in response to headlines like "there is no need for masks", here is the 1 minutes from my interview where I discuss basic preventative measures (including masks!).
Also note that NHS stats like A&E and Ambulance waits are lower than same time 3 years ago, even with earlier flu wave.

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

Yes, BC is rolling out a program: news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...
Unfortunately, zero programs for hospitals & schools … unless the patients and kids move to the chicken barns 🤪
A step in the right direction … but BC public health IPAC is archaic.

Hard for kiddo to do “public health” when individuals seem to think they have no role in it.
All the more reason we need to have #CleanAir #IAQ in shared spaces like schools where things like holiday events and school-wide assemblies create hotboxes for illness.
Happy bday, kiddo 😣

The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.
